Backwater Blues 2020 Mix & Match Finals
In the final for the Mix & Match Ballroomin' Blues Dancing competition at Backwater Blues in Huntsville, Alabama, Leads and Follows dance three all-skates! We do this to pay homage to the full, large dance floors of the great ballrooms of the past and present.
We also rotate finalists between songs, and so Leads and Follows are judged separately!
